something for kate - rock the casbah chords
Start Jamming...
[Cm] Well, it's a bittersweet like aversion for me personally today being the final time I can participate in the thing that I think I'm
most proud of in my time here at Triple J
So who better to get me through it and to entertain you but the loveliest band in rock and roll
It is my pleasure to welcome to the studio Steph Paul Clint and Pip [N] a something for Kate.
G'day.
Morning
We're just about to hear the Clash's classic tune Rock the Casbah
In fact, it spawned a segment for Charlie and I back on drive all those years ago called Charlene Goes Lightning
Because of the line Sharice don't like it and they are very very commonly misinterpreted those lines
Did you know were you aware of the lyrical content from the start?
Did you actually know what words they were singing?
Not when I heard it as a kid
Do you remember what you used to replace those words for?
No, I know it wasn't what the lyrics are
So are we gonna get the lyrics right this morning?
We'll see

[G] [Am] [F] [G]
[C] [G] [Dm] [Am]
[G] [C] [F] [Em]
[C] [A] [Em]
You [G] got to let that rug a [D] draw
The [A] oil down the desert [E] way [G] has been shaken to the [Dm] top
[Am] The king drove his [Em] Cadillac he [G] went a-cruising down the [D]
vale

[Dm] [Am] [G]
[Em] [F] [C]
[A] We've [E]
[Gm] been that boogie [Dm] sound
[A] Degenerate the [E] faithful
With [G] that crazy Casbah [Dm]
sound
[A] But the better when he brought out [Em] the electric camel drum
[G] The local guitar picker [D] got his guitar pickin' thumb
[Am] As soon as the [E] Sharife had cleared the square
[F] They began to wail
[Dm] Sharife don't [Am] like it
[G] Rock [F] the [G] Casbah
Rock [C] the Casbah
[Dm] Sharife don't [Am] like [G] it
Rock [F] the Casbah
[G] [C] Rock the Casbah
[A] Now over at the [N] temple
[A] Oh they really pack [Am] them [Em] in
[A] The crowd says it's [D] cool
[Abm] [A] To dig that Casbah [D] thing
[F] But as the wind changed [G] directions
[F] And the temple bank took [Am]
[G] fire
[A] The crowd they caught a whiff [G]
[A] of
Of that crazy Casbah
[D]
[Dm] Sharife don't like [Am] it
[G] [Em] Rock [F] the [Em] Casbah
Rock [C] the Casbah
[Dm] Sharife don't like [Am] [G] it
Rock [F] the Casbah
[Em] Rock [C] the Casbah
[A] Now he told his jet [E] pilots
[G] Boss you've got to earn your [D] pay
So [Am] drop your bombs between the [E] minarets
[G] Down the Casbah way
[Dm]
[A] But as soon as the [Em] Sharife cleared the mail
[G] The jet pilots stared to [Dm] the carpet radio [Am] player
Soon as the Sharife [Em] was out of their hair
[F] The jet pilots wailed
[Dm] Sharife don't [Am] like it
[G] [Em] [F] Rock the Casbah
[Em]
[C] Rock the Casbah
[Dm] Sharife don't [Am] like it
[G] [F] Rock the Casbah
